Popular activist, Aisha Yesufu, has tackled those asking her to apologize for spearheading the campaign that voted out former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Yesufu maintained that those who voted for Buhari did the nation a great favour since the people now see how 2018 is way better than 2023.
She wrote on X,: “Jonathan’s administration collected a loan of $460m to install CCTV in Abuja and there was no CCTV and you are calling on fellow citizens to apologize for voting out Jonathan.
And you do not see that you are worse than Jonathan, Buhari and Tinubu combined?
Our way far!!!!”
According to her, the fact that Buhari’s second term was worse than his first term means nothing and shouldn’t be taken as an indication that if one rewards failure, it worsens.
Some X users recently blamed those who campaigned and voted former President Muhammadu Buhari into power as being responsible for the nation’s woes.
They argued that all data indicated the country was better economically under Jonathan’s administration and had better prospects.
Among those in this school of thought is Nigeria’s investigative journalist, David Hundeyin.
He alleged that the United States of America interfered in Nigeria’s 2015 election.
According to him, “GEJ must go” was a foreign intelligence operation run out of Washington DC by the US State Department, whose doctrine interpreted Nigeria’s economic growth and growing partnership with China as a strategic threat to American economic and military interests on the continent.”
In a post on his X handle, He continued: “The Obama administration repeatedly interfered very directly and blatantly in that election cycle. Barack Obama recorded and posted a video urging Nigerians to “vote for the next chapter.” Michelle Obama involved herself in #BringBackOurGirls, which was itself merely the ‘Big Idea’ within the larger marketing campaign that was “Jonathan must go.” John Kerry travelled to Nigeria and met with the opposition.
“The local players on the ground who took part in the marketing and political campaign to oust Goodluck Jonathan and replace him with the Illiterate were merely useful idiots – yes, that includes you reading this with your guilty conscience. If the shoe fits, I am definitely referring to you. You were nothing but a pawn in a geopolitical tussle between 2 of the Countries That Actually Matter.”
